Like Sowore, Soyinka has also been unjustly accused by the Nigerian government in his fight for a better Nigeria.
He was accused of treason by then military junta, General Sani Abacha. He was imprisoned for 22 months before he was eventually...FOLLOW LIVE: bit.ly/39x55YV

DO NOT BE MISLED.

A THREAD!

It is annoying to see some people concoct excuses for the SSS despite the fact the SSS is yet to make a public statement on their naked, reckless and irresponsible actions at the Federal High Court in Abuja on Friday. /1

#SoworeInDanger #FreeSowore
Why not wait for the SSS to tell us their usual fictional stories before you begin to masturbate in their defence?

Those talking about Sowore "breaching" his bail conditions are either ignorant or simply being mischievous. The SSS has no authority over Sowore's bail. /2
Let's assume that Sowore was seen in Lagos in defiance of his bail condition which has restricted him to Abuja, the SSS cannot arrest or detain him.

They can only go back to the court and complain by way of an application for the revocation of his bail. Sowore will be heard. /3

Since our Shepard is a Muslim, let me come from the perspective of Islam. Allah said in Surat An-Nisa “O ye who believe, stand firm for justice even against your own selves”. Islam is a religion of peace, equity and fairness. It shies away from oppression and contempt.
In 2015, a certain coup and counter coup emperor promised about 200 million people that he was a reformed democrat and would uphold the trust and mandate, rule of law and end impunity in a country led astray by his like minds.

Sowore VS Nigerian Government.
The trial begins.

#FreeSoworeNow
The prosecution has taken responsibility for just sending documents to Sowore's counsel yesterday.
As such, if the case is adjourned, it solely the prosecution's fault and the judge could award costs.
#FreeSowore
The prosecution tried to say that it's not a requirement by the Administration of Criminal Justice Act (ACJA) but Justice Ojukwu reminded him that the defence asked for it on Nov 6th & the court-approved so why did they just send it yesterday?

😂🤣😂🤣🤣One Day We shall speak on the evolution of a single client law firm that suddenly became a megalomaniac overnight. ‘Proxies’ happeneth to them all. Nothing is hidden under heaven. He who loves untruths will soon be lost in the labyrinth of his lithany of lies. ⏰
Let me say this categorically for it has to be said and someone has to make it clear. There is no connection or semblance of association of the word INTEGRITY with @ProfOsinbajo & @MBuhari. You say what you can’t put into action. The only consistent thing is your love for lies.
Only the brain damaged will sing the praises of economic gormandizers and rule of law subjugators, abusing the power of the state to perpetuate themselves in office. The blatant show of irresponsibility & lack of accountability prove they are the most corrupt duo in our history!

Follow back is based on engagement it doesn’t matter how many followers you have. We must learn to respect everyone regardless of their age or perceived influence. Everyone must be given the opportunity to express themselves whether we connect or not. #YouAreEnough
Nothing best illustrates this than the story of Robert G. Heft who designed the 50 star American flag when he was 15 for a school project. His teacher gave him a B- & said, “If you can get the President to accept it as the new 50 state design, I’ll give you an A+”...
So he called the White House 11times to speak with President Dwight D. Eisenhower. The President called his home and asked him to come to DC to present his design. It was adopted as the official US flag on August 21st, 1959. And yes the teacher gave him an A+, 2yrs after.

Against better judgement, I donated 25,000 of money to Buhari campaign in 2015! I was STUPID to vote for this nonesense in 2015, I have been done with the Buhari since 2016,Nigeria has no President! I even wrote about his victory, why is he against now? rebeccaidd.wordpress.com/2015/04/02/why…
In 2014/2015, @MBuhari and @elrufai commended us for stand up against Goodluck Jonathan, used us to make noise and push for a #RevolutionProtest Buhari even led protest in Abuja, today, Buhari is locking us up for saying we dont want again! Is Buhari not a TYRANT?
Democracy doesnt work against when it does not favor @MBuhari ? Tinubu, @elrufai and other propagandist called for revolution in 2012/12/14/15 suddenly it is no longer a good cause! Nigeria will DEFEAT you! Nigeria REJECTS TYRANNY #RevolutionIsNow #FreeSoworeNow #FreeDadiyataNow

I’m sore disappointed in the IG @PoliceNG for yet another blunder adding to his debut of returning criminal tactical squads to status quo to reinforce impunity. He’s failed to bring a single killer Fulani Herdsman to book yet he’s calling peaceful protest an act of terrorism?! 🙄
Now we have to launch an enquiry into the educational qualification of the IGP. It is a sad day for Nigeria indeed. We can finally connect the dots for the rationale behind the impunity ridden police institution that has pitched itself against the people as an ethnic brigade.
Unfortunately, it’s not in the place of @PoliceNG to re-write our constitution or determine the rights of the citizenry under their new ethnic rule in the name of regime security. This we’ll RESIST. You don’t just throw words around as it pleases your agenda. This is a democracy.

All well-meaning Nigerians should stand with @YeleSowore and defend his constitutional right and freedom to protest any matter of Governance that worries him.

Mr Sowore’s convening of Citizens to protest Poor Governance - via #RevolutionNow- is Constitutionally guaranteed.
If our @NGRPresident @MBuhari & FG @AsoRock are not completely out of touch with the reality of distress of majority of Citizens of this country, they would handle @YeleSowore ‘s right to convene #RevolutionNow wisely.

Many of us his fellow #OfficeOfTheCitizen stand with him.
I therefore join the voices of all well-meaning Nigerians to ask @AsoRock @NGRPresident @MBuhari to:

#FreeSoworeNow!
#FreeSoworeNow!!
#FreeSoworeNow!!!
#FreeSoworeNow!!!!

#DefendCitizenSoworesRight to Speech and Protest captioned
#RevolutionNow!

#IStandWithYeleSowore. ✍🏾✍🏾
